“I can't imagine finding anyone better than Amy. My cats, that normally don't interact with anyone but us, interacted with her from moment one. The updates and pictures she sent were priceless. We will definitely use Amy again and I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I bring over 23 years of experience managing and caring for multi-dog households, raising and training dogs through every stage from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I treat dogs like true family members who thrive on consistent routines, clear boundaries, and positive, reward-based communication, including hands-on experience with clicker training. Skilled in reading canine body language and managing multi-dog dynamics, I ensure your pets maintain their strict feeding, exercise, medication, and sleep schedules. Safety is always my top priority, whether securing leash walks, dog-proofing spaces, or maintaining a calm, harmonious environment while you are away. I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I am usually up with my dogs fairly early in the morning. I am available most week days and weekends. I know how important it is for pets to stay in their comfortable, familiar routine—especially when their owners are away. When caring for your pets in your home, I prioritize security, routine, and personalized care.
“Abbey did a great job caring for our Dog Rocky and Cat Klohe. She came to our home to meet our pets prior to the scheduled dates. She was very responsive and on time. I would recommend Abby to anyone that needs pet sitting.”
“Taylor did a great job with our cat Blanco, provided consistent comments and great photos! Also very kindly agreed to a last minute addition of feeding our fish, which we were very grateful for!”
About: I have always loved dogs. In 2021, I adopted a German shepherd and joined a training group. Practicing and training with my own dog every day led to me developing a passion for walking and working with dogs. Since then, I have walked many dogs, including structured walks where we practice heel, sit, place, and other basic commands. I also have experience assisting my trainer with client lessons and dog sat overnight for a home with multiple dogs. I have experience with large dogs, and could also help them to practice walking nicely on a leash. I have worked with and walked small, medium, and large dogs, and even a very large dog. I truly care that dogs get enough mental and physical stimulation so that they can live their happiest lives. Even in rainy weather, I enjoy taking out my dog. I’d love to help more dogs get more walks and sniffs in! I have also dropped in to care for friends’ cats and am comfortable providing cat care drop ins as well. I have a fresh water aquarium at home and could feed fish too! I am a freelance writer with a flexible schedule. Currently, I prefer to walk dogs during the day or in the afternoon, but I could work with other times. I would be available to walk dogs or drop in Mondays through Fridays and some Saturdays. I’m willing to work with you! I am very respectful of others’ homes and their rules for their pets. When pet sitting in the past, I have used a lock box to access a key and returned the key to the box upon leaving the home. I am also familiar with crate training and can follow instructions for how you’d like your dog to be greeted and let out. I am able to drop in to let your dog out to the bathroom, either in your fenced in yard or on a leash. I am also available for walks, taking dogs to the park, playing, or practicing training.
“Our animals were in great hands with Audrey! She was prompt at visitation times, very clear on her duties with them , and provided great communication with pictures daily while we were away. She’s a 10/10 !!”
About: I have owned pets my whole life, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, frogs, fish, ferrets and now a flock of chickens. Each pet is an incredible responsibility that can bring great joy. Family and friends know they can count on me to help with any pet needs. Be it overnight stays, dog walks, food and water checks and even just a quick stop to snuggle. I am a stepmom, dog mom and substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule out of school hours and am able to work around kids schedules to make almost anything work. Over the summer I am more free and able to help more. I walk my own dog multiple times a day, as well as spend time playing and snuggling. I have a routine with my flock of chickens for feeding time and creating ways to keep them occupied. My dog is on a scheduled food routine and receives treats throughout the day. My son has a bunny, to which he has a daily routine of playtime and cleaning. I am a person who is great with direction and routine, working to make sure an animal has adequate time for play, food and rest.
About: I’ve owned dogs, cats, and horses my entire life. I’ve been dog sitting for others for 7 years. I’ve owned dogs with behavioral issues from resource guarding to fear reactivity towards other people and animals and medical needs like Degenerative Myelopathy, ACL tears, dental disease, and an enlarged heart requiring specialized attention and care. I am a lead volunteer trainer of new volunteer dog handlers at the Harrisburg Humane Society. When I’m not training new volunteers, I handle dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, behavioral, and medical needs. I’ve taken dogs to off site events for exposure and I’m an adoption counselor helping pair families with the right dog for their home. I have worked with rescue and foster dogs. I will make sure that your dog’s needs are met and will meet them at their level while helping them grow. I will work on patience and consistency, and I will even work on commands with them. I have experience walking multiple dogs at once as well. Your dog’s needs will be met and they will be just as loved and happy until you get home to them! I am currently a high school English teacher and pursuing my Masters in Business Administration and Strategic Leadership while also running volunteer trainings at the Humane Society of Harrisburg weekly. I love working with people and animals while educating both and this allows me the flexibility to do what I love. From the end of August-middle of June I primarily have hours after 4 and through the evening during the week. While I am on breaks throughout the year and during summer, my availability is open during the mornings and daytime as well. I can be flexible on weekends depending on the time and day! I will meet every need you have for your dog or cat. I am reliable, patient, and consistent. I can work on things your pet is struggling with like impulse control, commands, leash walking, etc. I am comfortable crating and separating pets as needed. If your dog has reactivity with new people or other animals - I have an extra soft spot for them as my own pets have struggled with that. I will do slow introductions to make sure your pet is building a relationship with me that is safe and comfortable at their pace. Consistency, patience, and structure is key. I can provide a mix of walks and play time as well as enrichment if the weather is bad. I do not mind the weather changes or daylight changes as their needs come first. Even if your dog wants a quick walk and cuddle time, we will do what they need. I will also communicate with you each time by sending a detailed pet update or report card so you know how they are doing.
“Brandy was responsive, caring and attentive. I applaud her efforts getting to know our cat. Her reports are genuine and detailed. We appreciate the love of animals she has that makes her such a responsible petsitter. We highly recommend requesting her for your next vacay.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years. I have grown up with puppies, grown large sized dogs and many cats. I have watched my sisters dogs, neighbors, family friends dogs and many more. I am also fostering two cats right now which I have had for over a year. I am a teacher so I am free during the summer to watch whenever! I am available during the weekends from September-May. If needed I can do during the week from September-May with notice. I will make sure your animal is feed. Running, walking, and cuddling is what I do best. I even will give medicine if needed and make sure your animal has everything they need.
“Kate was wonderful and quick to communicate and respond. She sent daily pics of our fur baby. He enjoyed his play time, and she made sure he got his medicine and extra treats as well. Thank you again!”
“Kelly was great with providing us with updates on our dog during the drop in visits! We are looking forward to having her check on our dog in the future. Would highly recommend her services!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bellaire
Kate was absolutely amazing! She was so sweet, caring, and wonderful with our dog. She took the most amazing pictures and kept up with his toy rotation, which was especially important to my son. It was such a relief knowing he were happy, loved, and well taken care of while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend Kate to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their fur babies! 🐾❤️
Haley is very reliable and went above and beyond. Our dog is one who can be a bit leery of new faces but warmed to Haley after the first visit because Haley took the time to make Elsa feel at ease. We lost all of our worries of leaving our pet behind and recommend Haley to anyone.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Bellaire is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $27 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,866 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Bellaire. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bellaire. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
